Rentaload, a key player in the data centre industry
Rentaload offers for commissioning tests on datacentres the rental of SMART and connected load banks . This equipment makes it possible to test all levels of electrical and thermal redundancy of infrastructures, from the end of construction, renovation or during maintenance operations:
- Test of the main electric chain;
- Emergency electrical chain test and emergency equipment test;
- Testing the computer room cooling system.
Rentaload also offers, in addition to the rental of load banks, a whole range of associated services (delivery, installation and connection, assistance with tests or complete commissioning).
Today, Rentaload’s expertise in this type of test is known and recognised throughout Europe.
Rentaload, the expert in commissioning solutions for data centers
- What is commissioning?
Commissioning is a meticulous process of verifying and validating that the design and construction conform to the requirements and specifications of the owner’s initial project. We come to make sure that the installation built corresponds to the original design intent.
How? ‘Or’ What ? Thanks to different test scenarios (level 1 to 5 test commissioning).
This is where our load banks and our Commissioning team come in, since they carry out these different test scenarios for you.
“Commissioning is an essential process to guarantee the quality and reliability of data centres.”
- Our field of intervention
Rentaload most commonly assists with level 3, 4 and 5 commissioning tests .
We come to check with the help of our commissioning agent and our dedicated equipment that everything is working perfectly inside the datacentre (whether electrical or thermal equipment, individually or coordinated).
In connection with the deployment of our equipment on site, our teams support with varying levels of commitment the different phases of the commissioning tests. Acting as a simple assistant to the on-site commissioning teams, we can also take charge of the complete commissioning project from A to Z. If this is required, we take care of:
- Writing the test protocol upstream;
- Carrying out on-site tests;
- Recording and processing of data;
- Preparation of the final test report.
We have always been driven by the vision that commissioning can be done differently .
We believe that this phase can be optimised, in particular thanks to our SMART equipment and solutions: connected load banks and supervision software (Rentalab and EkkoSense). Amongst other things, this allows Commissioning teams to:
- Save time in carrying out their tests (up to 20%) thanks to the remote control of load banks via a supervision PC;
- To bring added value to the tests , in particular thanks to the data collected (P/U/I/Delta T) via the supervision software.
Our state-of-the-art equipment perfectly meets the needs and requirements of end customers.
With their low Delta T, their integrated ATS, their 50/50 load sharing and their extremely precise measurement feedback, we are fully capable of optimising your test and commissioning phase.
These tests are not yet compulsory (except in the USA); they are nevertheless strongly recommended and will certainly become mandatory in the years to come, in Europe but also everywhere in the world.

OUR 3 FLAGSHIP PRODUCTS FOR DATACENTRES
Rack load bank connected 6 kW / 7 kW
Benefits
- Integrated ATS to switch between channel A and channel B without having to disconnect and reconnect the cables;
- 50/50 load sharing (50% track A, 50% track B) for bench compatibility with “2N” type electrical infrastructures;
- Low Delta T (adjustable) to be as close as possible to the real conditions of the operating room.
Features
- Feedback of measurements (P/U/I/Delta T) thanks to the supervision software of our connected load banks to give added value to your tests;
- Remote control of up to 200 load banks at the same time via a supervision PC for time savings on tests estimated around 20% by our customers;
- Resolution of 0.5 kW for the 7 kW bench, the most accurate on the market.
Unit heater load bank 21 kW
Benefits
- Integrated ATS to switch between channel A and channel B, without having to disconnect and reconnect the cables;
- Low Delta T to be as close as possible to the real conditions of the room in operation (35 K);
- Reliability and safety of the load bank with, in particular, an integrated circuit breaker. It protects the bench in the event of electrical overcurrent.
Features
- New generation of the connected 21 kW load bank available to control an entire fleet of 21 kW load banks remotely via a supervision PC (time saving);
- Extremely precise measurement feedback (P/U/I/Delta T) thanks to its connected function;
- 1 kW resolution .
Load bank Low Delta T 100 KW, 200 kW, 300 kW
Benefits
- Low Delta T (54 K at full power) which avoids overheating of the computer room and therefore damage to equipment already present in the room;
- Quick and easy connection thanks to powerlock cables;
- Feedback of measurements (P/U/I/Delta T) thanks to the supervision software of our connected load banks to bring added value to your tests.
Features
- Management of up to 200 load banks at the same time via the supervision PC for time savings on tests estimated at around 20% by our customers;
- Easy to handle thanks to its small wheels with a design and ergonomics 100% adapted to data centres
- Very precise resolution from 5 kW to 10 kW;
- Perfectly suited for data center IST commissioning tests;
- Vertical airflow deflector available as an accessory to redirect bench air upwards if required.
